The only way I could see California, NC as being relevant would be if he’s planning a boat getaway down the Chowan River and out the Albemarle Sound to sea. And that would be huge speculation and very unlikely IMO. But, based on the rest of the convo he seems as if he is *trying* to sound nonsensical on purpose.Do we really need to spend so much time parsing this out, though?
(As our mods might say, "This post lands at random", and isn't meant to signal you out above and beyond any and everyone else discussing it; I just chose to stick my flag in the mountainside by this comment.)
IMO, the point and goal is to figure out "where Brian might have gone".
Again IMO, "if this man is/was in fact Brian", then it seems extremely unlikely that he would ever mean "California, North Carolina", no matter how askew his worldview was at this point (again, IMO); simply because "California, North Carolina" was never a Brian + Gabby destination.
Thus, if it's an innocent random person, IMO it's possible said random person could mean "California, NC".
If it's in fact shown to be Brian, I consider it next to impossible that he would be gunning for "California NC"; nor, in turn, that he would be perceiving it as having something to do with Gabby.
Again, not trying to dictate the course of the conversation; just pointing out these potential time-wasting tangents early in the game before they derail entire multiple threads.
I mean, someone a few threads ago even wanted me to consider the statistics about the overall likely theft of Ford F-150s; which literally has zero to do with inside baseball, because we're not trying to measure "how often any F-150 driving down the road gets stolen in general"; because our topic is, did BRIAN steal a vehicle, and in particular the single vehicle being referenced by our tipster, KWIM?
LE started this search for BL because his parents reported him missing and endangered. This was before his arrest warrant. So, yes , it is very possible, likely, in fact, that he is mental crisis.
I hope that makes it easier to find him. On the other hand, if I had not been able to sleuth out where my family member was, he most likely would have ended up homeless in Atlanta and his family might have never seen him again. Not a fugitive, but purposely missing due to mental crisis. It's a big world when their behavior is nonsensical and unpredictable. Brian could be anywhere. We can't discount anything because it doesn't seem logical. Imo
He's headed to California to meet her, remember? If he's having a breakdown, there won't be rational thought. I don't think people understand it until they see it up close and personal.
I don’t think so. The airspace above their home isn’t private.
I 100% believe this guy believes he saw BL. I also 100% believe there's some idiot out there that could pass for BL who would find it hilarious to troll a bunch of people on the internet by posing as him. Like everything else in this case, there's just no telling.
I wish you could see the topography of this little "hole in the wall" community. A couple of roads, tall mountains and lots of land with little road access other than trails. I'm of the mind to think this would be perfect to hide in a house or cabin.
Addressing reports of the incident on Wednesday, Gabby's mother, Nichole Schmidt told DailyMail.com: 'It's irrelevant.
'Two people traveling together with each other 24 hours a day, it's not going to be perfect, it was an argument, and that's all I'm going to say about it.'
I'm trying to understand your point about California NC never being a Gabbie/Brian destination so we must ignore it. First, how do you know that? We make the assumption that we know things that we simply don't. They have traveled through the Appalachian Mountains and may have seen the name and thought it quirky enough to do a drive thru. I do things like that all the time.Do we really need to spend so much time parsing this out, though?
